Since the end of June, Tony has been staying at the Malibu beach villa every day, tinkering with his new armor. All the company's affairs are handed over to Pepper, which has caused dissatisfaction among many company veterans.
Pepper has just turned 30 years old, but he has held the power of Stark Group president majestically. It is impossible for a lot of old guys to have no opinion in their hearts.
Tony's huge scientific research expenditure in the past two months made them even more frightened.
Tony was always out of sight, which made them have a very bad association.
For example, did Tony lose his mind? A top scientist is like a top artist, and mental illness is a common problem in this highly intelligent group.
It may also be that Tony, who has not shown up for a long time, is seriously ill. Pepper took the opportunity to frantically use a lot of high-end resources of the company, poaching the company's corners to fill his own pockets.
Under such pressure, Tony couldn't resist Obadai's repeated pleas, and finally came out of the villa and went to Afghanistan in person to try to get the military order.
After spending more than 2 billion US dollars in scientific research funding from the Stark Group in two months, he really needs to let shareholders see the hope of making money.
This first order will be more convincing if he personally completes it.
In terms of weapon development, Tony is still confident.
His invention has made the Stark Group earn money for many years, and the founder of the company, Howard Stark, is his father.
Tony is the president, even if they are not convinced, they have to hold back.
People who can do administrative work, scientific research ability is like a mental retardation in front of Tony.
A person with certain scientific research ability, but not as good as Tony.
Based on his own strength, Tony Stark's father's prestige blessing, coupled with Pepper's administrative ability, managed the company to flourish.
No one is qualified to challenge his position, not even Opadry, a super veteran who increases his shareholders.
Moreover, he is also the genius scientist who is best at convincing the generals in the military.
For example, Hammer Defense Company, which has been trying to squeeze into the mid-to-high-end arms market, every time it takes out some samples to compete with the Stark Group, he will easily pick out a lot of faults.
Even many generals who received the benefits of the Hammer Defense Company would be shaken by Tony, and finally handed over the order to the Stark Group.
Tony's venomous tongue has never been something ordinary people can bear, and it is even more sharp and terrifying when it comes to technology.
Anyone who wants to find fault with Stark Group's products will be refuted with a few sentences.
Compared to Tony, the level of weapons developers of Hammer Defense Company is equivalent to that of kindergarten children, and Tony is at least a doctoral supervisor.
The two sides didn't have to fight at all.
However, this Jericho missile was only produced by Tony a few days ago. The technicians of the Stark Group have not had time to understand it in depth, except for rushing to produce a group of three test products.
Let them do the sales, the gold is said to be sold as a dog, and it is most reliable for Tony to do it himself.
Anyway, Tony made up his mind that the private jet would waste a day at most, and the live demonstration would take half a day from departure to finishing, so that he could return to Los Angeles within two days.
After receiving the first batch of orders from the military, the company only needs to find the public relations department to continue lobbying the military to increase purchases, so he doesn't need to worry about this matter.
Shareholders who want to make money will figure it out themselves.
With this income, shareholders will be honest for at least a few months.
As for why the Jericho missile is manufactured, he is still using the company's scientific research resources, so find another project to fool them.
After such a hard work, Tony felt that his ears could be free for another two or three months.
The first half of things was business as usual.
Tony flew to Afghanistan to select a test location.
Looking at the observation group composed of military representatives in front of him, he said, "Is it better to be respected or to be feared? Many people think this is a multiple-choice question, but I think it is possible to have both."
The representatives in front of them were all focused by these words.
"Some people say that the best weapon can threaten others without firing it. I don't agree with it." He raised his voice slightly: "I think the best weapon needs to be fired once! This is what my father and the United States are most used to. approach, and it is by far the most effective.”
Having said that, he waved to the technicians next to him, signaling them to start working.
"As long as you find an excuse and fire once, those Kongbu members will be scared to hide in the dark cave and shiver like those mice." Tony's words were extremely confident.
The delegates agreed.
Find an excuse and fuck his niang! As long as you beat your opponent, then whatever you say is right.
This is the glorious tradition of Great America.
For example, the atomic bomb was made by Howard Stark! The United States has used it twice, and the effect is first-class.
While everyone was thinking, a Jericho missile shot out from the launch pad not far away with a whoosh, and flew straight to the shooting range mountain in front of everyone.
Tony looked calm, and raised his hands slowly and flatly, as calmly as the statue on Monte Cristo in Rio: "Gentlemen, let me bring you the Jericho missile, a new cross-generation product of the Stark Group."
Boom boom boom!
A series of huge explosions sounded, and the entire mountain trembled, being submerged in the soaring smoke and dust.
The ferocious air wave mixed with sand and dust quickly swept across the entire test site.
All the young and old in the costume competition were taken staggeringly. The hats of the military representatives were all flipped and flew out, and the clothes were pressed tightly on the body, and the corners of the clothes rattled.
Looking at the expressions of the representatives, Tony coughed twice, knowing that he had managed to fool this group of bureaucrats who didn't understand science again, and that the third-rate missiles that came out of the hurry could be sold at a good price.
Sure enough, as before, there were no surprises in the order.
After confirming that the Ministry of Defense would place an order, Tony walked to the side, opened a large incubator, and delivered ice-cold famous wine stored in it to the representatives present. A case of wine as a gift. This case is not counted.”
As he spoke, he raised his wine glass: "I respect peace."
At this time, his phone rang, and it was Opadry who called, saying that he needed to go online to deal with something in the company.
Of course, Tony would not be handling company affairs in the wilderness of Afghanistan, so he returned to the base early.
A group of generals stayed at the test site, preparing to use the remaining two Jericho missiles to continue testing the damage effects.
Therefore, most of the more than 200 accompanying soldiers stayed at the test site to protect the delegation and the two Jericho missiles.
There were only ten vehicles with more than thirty American soldiers on board, escorting Tony back to the base.
Still, that's not a huge deal.
The distance between the base and the test firing site is not far, and if the convoy encounters an accident, it can call a large number of reinforcements to come at any time.
